Heading West

AK is out of undies, so I am heading home on Tuesday :)

It's been a long 4 weeks, but mom & I have really gotten a ton of stuff done.

She's had at least 2-3 doctor appointments per day, plus trips to Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Trader Joe's, Boscovs, Sears, Joanne Fabrics, Riddle Thrift Shop, CVS, Walgreens, hairdresser, Elwyn Pharmacy (daily), Wachovia, Brookhaven Nails, Home Depot, Kinkos, Kohl's, and the ghetto Pathmark in Brookhaven. We went to Langhorne for Easter, St. Luke's church during holy week, visited various neighbors, and gone back to Riddle Village for her to visit friends she's made, too.
And my 9th grade cousin went to the junior and senior proms this and last Friday - more on that in a later post!

Phew - Jojo is exhausted.

I have only seen Chrissy once, and have only been able to talk with Kelly on the phone :(
I haven't been to the Plumber, or stopped by Granger's ... HIGHLY unusual for me!
It's been a different kind of trip, and despite my mom & I having our usual disagreements, she's told me some family things I never knew, gave me a letter written to me for my 1st birthday (in Greek) from my grandmother/yiayia. She was the only one I had, as the others had all passed long before I came along. My mom's mom died before I was a year old, and I don't remember her at all. The letter was wonderful to have, and I've already framed it for my bedside.

Of course I am sad to leave mom, but I hope to return within 2 months to continue working on the house with mom.
At this point, I miss ak too much. I feel like one of my limbs is missing - this is the longest we've been apart!
I leave Tuesday, and we won't be taking any calls until Thursday ;)

Peace Out, players!
